Tripoli Restaurant, a cherished Lebanese eatery in Cobble Hill, recently celebrated its inclusion in the Historic Business Preservation Registry, a recognition for businesses active for over 50 years. Located at 156 Atlantic Ave., Tripoli has been a beloved destination since its 1972 opening, attracting a diverse clientele including scholars and celebrities. The nomination, sponsored by State Sen. Andrew Gounardes, underlines the restaurant's significance in the community's history and its dedication to serving unique Lebanese cuisine alongside classic dishes. Owned by Mohamad Salem, Tripoli aims to introduce lesser-known Lebanese delicacies to its customers.
"While you can find classic Lebanese dishes like fatoush, kefta kabob and hummus - there are also lesser-known foods like shish barak, bamia, and more," said Mohamad Salem.
"Tripoli became a destination for an eclectic clientele, including international scholars, students, and prominent political figures," highlighting its rich history and community connection.
"The Historic Business Preservation Registry celebrates businesses that have contributed significantly to their community for over 50 years," emphasizing Tripoli's pivotal role since 1972.
